Yes, town or county can be included in In Memory Birthdays Another contributor from the CM Night Community just sent an In Memory birthday which prompts a clarification on the Special Events database: Birthdays, Anniversaries, and In Memory Birthdays. Carla Aaron Grider writes (at 3:49amCT, 2012-03-10): March 16Thanks, Carla Aaron Grider The In Memory Birthday is posted. And, while our policy is not to post hometowns for Birthdays and Anniversaries - Hometowns - may change for the living. But adding the hometown to the In Memory Birthdays gives so much added context that we encourage that, as Carla Aaron Grider did. For In Memory Birthdays for which we have obituaries, there is a link to the obituary, and we only post the date of birth, hoping that the obituary has the date of death. For In Memory Birthdays for which we do not have an obituary posted on CM, we like to list both the year of birth and the year of death. Thanks, again, Carla Aaron Grider, for this addition to the database. -EW 2012-03-10 04:13:05 | Comments | Printable version

As we were loading, we were truly astonished and were so grateful for everyone's generosity, kindess, and big hearts.

Adair County doesn't have anywhere near the tallest hill in the seven county area, but we do have a Mt. Fuji-like view of the most inspiring one, the tallest, in neighboring Casey County, the Green River Knob, Russell, Taylor, and Metcalfe also have higher points than Adair; Cumberland and Green's highest hills are lower. - EW 2012-03-10 02:19:48 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History Birthdays and Anniversaries for March 10 Happy Anniversary, David & Judy Reliford (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Allen Absher | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Amanda Firkins | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Ashley Thomas | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brian Wesley Bryant (1981) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Cindy Edwards | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Earnest Edward (Dickie) Bryant (1936) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Hallie Madison Brown (2004) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Hazel "Granny" Murley (1924) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Isabel Fister | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jacob Campbell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jacob McKinley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Karla Stone | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lance Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lee Ann Jessee | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Linda "Ma" Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lois Foley (1955) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Luke Keen | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Pam Cundiff | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tami Wilson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Wilma McIntyre | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Curt Flinchum, Campbellsville, KY (1920) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Dr. Julia Goodin, Columbia, KY native (1957-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Ronald Gregory Allen, Grove Ridge, KY (1953-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Beatrice Caven Marcum, 95, Green/Adair County (1924-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Linda Goodin Burton, Columbia, KY (1938-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Donald H.
